RUSSIA BALKED.
Turkey Refuses to Aid in Coercing the
Bulgarians.


LONDON, Aug. 25.-Turkey has refused to
assent to Russias proposals for coercive
action toward Bulgaria, either in the form
of occupation, or by sending Artin Effendi
with Russian commissioner to Bulgaria to
secure the election of new Sobranje and
new Prince. Turkey prefers to await con-
certed action by all the powers,
parties to the Berlin treaty, to hasten
ing quarrel with the Bulgarians.
It is the general opinion of leading Euro
pean diplomatists that Germany gave her
assent to Russia's proposals for an Ottoman
commission and Russian General to settle
the Bulgarian question, Germany to place
herself in position to be able to prevent
Russia from taking any precipitate action
which might again set the Balkans ablaze.
RUSSIA AND BoULANGER.
VIENNA, Aug. 25.-A dispatch from War

have shown desire to invite Gen. Boulan-
ger to visit Moscow but have been warned
by the government that such q step would
not be tolerated.
NOT A WITHDRAWAL.
VIENNA, Aug. 25 diplomatic represen-
tatives here say that the statement that the
powers would recall their agents from Sofia
is without foundation. Austria, Italy and
England 40 not mean TO WltndraW
their agents at present The transfer of
Baron Thielmann from Sofia to Darmstadt,
which was hastily interpreted as Germany's
withdrawal, was the origin of the report.
Baron Thielmann will remain at Sofia for
some time.
RUssIA's ONLY AIM.
ST PETERSBURG, Aug. 25.-The Journal
de St. Petersburg says the Berlin Tdgbtdtfs
suggestion that the powers recall their
agents from Sofia is valueless unless
the powers also demand redress
and the restoration of rights
violated by Prince Ferdinand The only
act of devotion to Bulgarians that is left for
that Prince to accomplish, says the Journal,
is to quit Bulgaria forthwith.
Well-informed persons state that the gov
ernment does not intend to take further ac-
tive steps in regard to Bulgaria, but will
confine itself to efforts TO prevent the legali
zation of Prince Ferdinand's proceedings
BY thus parayzing his action the govern
ment expects TO compass his downfall.

Mr.. Russell, after remarking that Mr..

coercion of the league, but said that having

demanded
Mr.. Bradlaugh RadicaD said that boycott

but was invented in England to extermi-
nate the Irish. If the governments state

claimed the league before as an association
Tor the promotion of crime! The country
would judge the conduct of government
which obtained powers ostensibly to sup

SHARP GETS A STAY.
Judge Potter Grants the Motion on
Three Grounds.

Judge Potter Grants the Motion on
Three Grounds.
WHITEHALL, N. Y, Aug. 25-Judge
Potter has granted stay in the Jake Sharp
case.
Judge Potter granted the stay on the
ground that there is reasonable doubt that
the Judgment reached in the court of Oyer
and Terminer should stand, and he orders a
stay in the execution OF such Judgment un-
til an appeal shall be decided by the general
term.
THE JUDGES REASONS.
The stay is granted for three principal
reasons:
1. The admission in Sharp's trial as evil
dence against himself of Sharps testimony
before the legislative investigating com
nlittee. This is held to be in violation of
the principle that no man shall be compelled
to testify against himself This testimony
was admitted against tho protest of Sharp's
counsel
2. The fact of the absence of persons
charged In the indictment with the defend
ant with the crime of bribery and their So
journs in Canada as the excuse of their non
production as witnesses against the defend
ant by the prosecution.
3. The opinion or supposition of tho wit
ness Miller as to the motive and purpose of
Delacy when he handed Miller the S., 900
Bourke Cochran this afternoon stated
that the case could not come up now until
the General Term meets next October. An
application will at once be made to have
Sharp released on bail by some Judge of
the Supreme Court.
The news of the decision by Judge Potter
reached the city about noon and created no
little excitement A number of people
flocked to the court house at once TO ascer-
tain the truth of the report. Nearly all the
leading lights in the trial are out of town.
Judge Barrett is at Block island.
THE DISTRICT ATTORNEYS ATTITUDE.
WEST END, LONG BRANCH, N j., Aug
25.-District Attorney MARITIME, Of New
York, who is at Seabright, said tonight
that he mad anticipated that stay would
lie granted in the Sharp case, Several days
ago he applied to Gov. Hill ask
ing him in case stay was
granted to convene an extraordinary session
of the general term, which would allow ar
guments in the case 10 be heard at once. II
Sharp's lawyers ask that he be admitted to
bail, District Attorney MARITIME says he will
demand that bail be fixed at 81, 100000.

The Announcement of the Failure
Causes No Flutter in the Stock
Market-The Assets Only O Drop in
the Bucket-The Whereabouts of
Ives Books Still Unknown.
New York, Aug 25.-Grovesteen &
Pell, the firm whose hypothecated securities
were offered under the rules yesterday,
notified the Stock Exchange shortly after
the opening this morning that they had
made an assignment TO Z. w. Harding. The
announcement was expected after yester-
days developments and had no effect on the
market. There were many rumors current,
however, that they had dragged down other
houses by their failure, but all the parties
mentioned deny that they lose enough to
cause trouble. The President of tho Bank
of New York, where the firm kept its ac
counts, said; "Wehave loan with Grove
steen Il Pell, but have not certified single
check for them, and our loss in consequence
of their failure will not be serious"
SHARES SOLD OUT.
A few hundred shares of stock were sold
out for the account of the firm after the
suspension was announced. At the Office of
bfoVetseen & rel the doors were all
locked and the knob was taken off the door
to the main office. There was no
response to calls or knocks and
other parties in the building
stated that there was no one i'm the office
The estimates of the liabilities vary, some
placing them as high as 81 ,S00,0 900, while
the friends Of the firm state that SS0, 900 in
cash would settle everything. Their assets
are nominally placed at 5000, 900, but the
bonds which compose them have no ready
sale. Some of them are actually valueless
Assignee Harding states that the liabili-
ties amount TO 81 800, 900, most of which are
secured by East and West Alabama and
Rome and Decatur railroad bonds. IL is
stated that most of their liabilities are due
to thirty different banks, and that they owe
about $780, 600 to Stock Exchange members.

COLORow CORRALLED.
He Wants to Talk With the Big White
Man, But Not With Cowboys.

DENVER, Aug. 25.--A courier arrived
this morning at Glenwood Springs with the
following message for Gov. Adams:
Maj. Leslie has Colorow corraled, with 200
bucks. They want to the big white man,
but won't talk to the cowboys. They say the
whites want a little fight, and the soldiers must
go back or have a little fight. Sheriff Kendall
has only fifty-two men. This is positive. All
other information on this point is false,

Another dispatch from Glenwood Springs

saying that an emergency exists which re
quires his presence at once,
Gov. Adams, accompanied by Congress
man Symmes, Attorney General Marsh and
Hon. Williams Byers, left this evening for
Meeker to hold conference with Colorow.
The Governor stated that be sincerely hoped
to be able to induce the Indians to return to
the agency and end the present trouble.
CAN TROOPS BE UsEp2
WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.--Adjt Gen Drum
has received the following message from
dispatch of yesterday reached me this morn
ing and have sent it to Gen. Crook for his
information and guidance, but as under
stand the information, perhaps imperfectly,
the present trouble is entirely within the
boundaries of the State of Colorado,
and has risen from an attempt to
serve the process of civil court of
? that State The Sheriff has called out a
posse, and militia has been sent to him, or
is on the way TO him. Under these circum-
stances, and in view of section Is, of the
army appropriation act, approve June Is,
1878, | do not see that the troops of the
United States can be lawfully used in aid
of the Sheriff, unless the Legislature or
Governor of Colorado shall represent
to the President that an insurrection
exists and shall call upon him for aid in
suppressing it, nor does there seem to be
any other action that military officers can
take, SO long as the sheriff with his posse
and the militia are pressing the Indians and
threatening immediate action. Efforts to
induce Colorow and his followers to re
turn to the agency would in all
probability be useless The only course
that appears to me to be
legal is to induce the State authorities to
suspend the execution of their process till
an effort can be made by the United States
authorities to induce the Indians to return
to their homes As yet no troops have been
sent to the scene of action, though they are
held ready to march. In view of the severe
punishment imposed by the act of 1873 on
military officers who shall unlawfully use
troops in aid of civil authorities / ask for
more explicit instructions for my guidance"
